The trip to Edinburgh during Beltane, canceled – again?!
You all know that I love Edinburgh right?
If I had not fallen in love with Edinburgh on the very instant we first met, I would have fallen in love with the city during our last trip. There’s just no place like this, where I feel this welcoming warmth every time I visit. It’s kind of like when you visit an old childhood friend that you have not seen for years, but it clearly does not matter that a long time has gone by, you’re still the best of friends.
All the images are taken during our trip to Edinburgh last summer.
But our relationship has not been the easiest to manage, the city has me running around in circles trying my best to make it work. During our short period of friendship, we have been through so much together… The first time we met was fine, clearly, then the hassle began as our second trip was threatened by the big SAS strike that finally got our last trip to Edinburgh during Beltane canceled. We re-booked that trip and made it there during the summer instead – but missed the Beltane festival 2019.
So, of course, we booked another trip to visit Edinburgh during this year Beltane, and you all remember how happy I was when we finally booked our trip for Beltane 2020 right?
Well… as I said, it’s not an easy-going relationship… this year’s trip to Edinburgh during Beltane was of course threatened as well, and it got canceled, this time by the Coronavirus. It kind of feels like I am not supposed to bee there during the festival… do you ever get the feeling that it is not meant to be? Me and Edinburgh just cant seem to play nice when it comes to this particular festival.
Hopefully, the situation will change for the better soon, I am keeping my fingers crossed, but we are still walking around with that feeling in the back of our heads that keeps saying that most future trips will be canceled… and I know, its for the best – right now, but it still sucks.
Have you ever had a similar experience with canceled trips?
Please let me know in the comment section below, I would love to hear your story.

Det är SÅ frustrerande att inte kunna resa p.g.a viruset, men vad ska man göra… Vilken otur med Beltane-festivalen, blir det ett nytt försök nästa år?
Anngelic
Jag också!

Ja jag tror också att vi får vänta ett bra tag till tyvärr… känns inte som att det är någon större ide att ens tänka tanken just nu 😊
//Ann
Anngelic
Åh jag vet inte… två år i rad nu som vi inte kommit iväg. Kanske att vi ger det ett nytt försök nästa år, annars får det hamna på “!sen-listan” 😋
Har du fått några inställda reseplaner?

Tokyo är inställt. Nästa bokade resa är inte förrän i slutet på augusti, hoppas läget är bättre då. Kommer bli lite mer spontanbokade resor hädanefter istället för att boka flera månader innan som jag gjort tidigare.
Anngelic
Ja jag gör nog på samma sätt, försöker att boka in när det väl släpper 😊
Man får leva på gamla minnen så länge 😋

I NEED to get to Edinburgh! I’ve been meaning to go there for years, and I just never made it happen yet. I have to get serious about getting the family there.
Surekha
Things have to change at some point. It’s just a matter of when. I really believe that we’ll all be back to our travels sooner than we think. Fingers crossed!
Nicole Anderson
My partner tells me how nice Edinburgh is and that the Scottish people are extremely friendly. The closest I’ve been so far in the UK has been Southern England which I really enjoyed. I am looking forward to including Edinburgh and the Scottish countryside in our next trip to the UK, after we all get through this terrible Covid 19 pandemic. Likewise you will also make it – just hang in there and keep your spirits up as much as possible. Best wishes to you.

Thank you Jessica 😊

I am sure that you will love the city of Edinburgh, and that roadtrip you are planning seems like such a great way to get the most out of the trip. Hope you’ll get there soon 😊

While now it may not be a good time to travel but still this post brought me back the memories while I was studying in the north England -Edinbourgh is one of my favourite to go and hopefully we will all be able to visit there freely soon. – Knycs Journeying

Wendy @ One Exceptional Life
I’m sorry that you weren’t able to make the trip. These pictures are amazing, though. What a beautiful place
Pia
I can feel your words and photos. It gives me chills when you said that Edinburgh is like visiting an old friend. I think I feel this in a place here in the Philippines. Looking forward to brighter days with no COVID-19.

daniel
Edinburgh looks beautiful through your photos and words. I hope to visit it someday after all of this is over. I am making a list of new places I want to visit once we get over this pandemic.
Natalie
I know how you feel, we have cancelled two trips this year and are holding out hope that we will still be able to go on a trip later in the year. Edinburgh looks beautiful, hopefully you will be able to visit again soon. 😊

I visited Edinburgh one February and it was so cold. We did a bus tour and we were frozen but we did enjoy wandering around the city especially the castle

Hahaha jag och Edinburgh bråkar fast jag bor där, var också med om SAS striken senast och nu fick jag ju åka därifrån för att inte bli fast i landet :'( Saknar faktiskt staden så mycket när jag inte är där, tror inte jag har förstått hur mycket hemma och hur mycket kärlek jag har för den staden förrän nu när jag inte kan vara där <3
Georgina
There is something special about Edinburgh, for sure. Missing the Beltane is both disappointing and frustrating but I won’t give up so soon on your relationship, if I were you. Only the best awaits you in Edinburgh.
Emmaengstrom
Låter verkligen helt underbart, en plats man måste besöka helt enkelt! Aldrig behövt ställa in en resa eller så och hoppas jag inte behöver det heller 😲 Dock var jag med om försening en dag när jag skulle till USA, haha! <3
Sue
So sorry you had to cancel but Edinburgh is a beautiful city, as demonstrated by your lovely photos. I’m sure it will make it even more sweet when you finally get there. I had to cancel a yoga retreat in Iceland. Like you I have now rebooked for next year…fingers crossed!
Jan
I understand. We canceled our trip to London due to this pandemic. We are hopeful that maybe another trip is possible by the end of the year! Edinburgh is a beautiful historic city and there is a lot of see. I’m sure you will be able to visit this place again 😊
emman damian
I love your photos! The quality is amazing! I haven’t been to Edinburgh. I hope to see it soon!
Lyanna Soria
That sounds like a great place to visit someday with the family. We have several travel plans that got cancelled as well because of the Covid Situation.
Melanie
We have been to Edinburgh so so many ties. Glad we did our visit last year instead of booking for this year!

Fantastiska bilder, hoppas verkligen världen mår bättre snart🌸

Edinburgh is truly one of the gorgeous city of Europe. I want to visit that place and meet my oldest friend who moved there with her family.

We have had the same thing with Syndey … it’s not playing nice with us. Three times we’ve made plans and one mishap and two disasters have stopped us going .. we’re wondering if it’s the universes’ way of telling us we shouldn’t go.
Yukti
You have taken wonderful photos of Edinburg during your last visit to this place though you had to cancelled the trip this time. Hopefully when everything goes well, you will soon make it.
stephen
Love Edinburgh, it’s such a shame you missed out on revisiting, hopefully you have better luck this time

I really wish I could travel. Quarantine is making my last months at home so hard. I feel really restricted.
Carolina
Vad trist att resan hela tiden blir inställd 😟 hoppas ni får åka till Beltane festivalen år 2021 😊
Virginia
The architecture looks lovely. Hopefully it works out one day where you and Edinburgh meet in time for the festival.
CHELSEA MESSINA
That’s a bummer. I hate it when that happens. I’ve had to cancel many client trips as well as my own these past few months : ( but I do believe everything happens for a reason. If your friendship is strong enough, you’ll make it until you’re next visit ; ) which is hopefully in the near future.

It sure is Blair 😊
